In case you are a world class gamer or you think that there might be someone out there who would like to see how well you played, Nvidia has a solution for you.

Geforce Experience has received Shadowplay support, a way of make video clips out of your gameplay with a minimum performance impact. Now Geforce Experience 1.8.1 is bringing Twitch support, a way to broadcast your gameplay. Twitch is using a dedicated H.264 hardware encoder that is a part of Geforce 600- and 700-series cards.

This is a nice feature that many younger gamers will enjoy as apparently many of them believe that if something didn’t happen on the twitter, Facebook or streamed at YouTube, it didn’t happen at all. That is how the world works these days.

You will need to have Twitch login credentials and a 3.5Mbps connection is required for High Quality, 2Mbps for medium, and 0.75Mbps for low.

If you own a Geforce GT 650 card or better, especially the 700 series, your Geforce Experience will offer an update.

During its GPU 14 event at Hawaii AMD announced its own answer to Nvidia's Geforce Experience, the Gaming Evolved app powered by Raptr. It does the basically same thing and picks best, or to be precise optimal settings in the game for you current hardware.

It basically uses crowd sources data from users in order to determine the optimal game settings for any hardware configuration which is quite a feat considering how many possible combinations can exist. When installed the Gaming Evolved powered by Raptr app practically detects all the games on the system as well as hardware and resolution. As soon as the game is started, it starts to track FPS and creates a histogram of performance that it combines with all the results on the cloud.

The concept is quite simple as you have one-click button that optimizes settings as well as a slider that lets you control the balance between performance and image quality.

The app is currently available in beta at www.raptr.com/amd and suipports around twenty games but we are sure that AMD will get that number up in no time.

Nvidia talked about its Geforce Experience earlier this year and has now released a beta version available for the first 10,000 registered users.

In case you missed it, Nvidia, with the help of a survey done last year, claims that more than 80 percent of PC gamers are leaving their games at default settings thus missing out all the eye candy. That is where Geforce Experience comes in and optimizes, or rather sets the game to run smoothly with as much eye candy possible on that hardware.

Currently in beta, the Geforce Experience only supports Fermi and Kepler GPUs as well as just 32 games. The software will access Nvidia's cloud-based supercomputer and test the game by turning on settings until the previously determined FPS target is reached. It aims to bring maximum bang for the buck by providing the most visual benefit and least stress on the GPU so texture quality gets cranked up first and AA is enabled last.

If the survey was spot on, the Geforce Experience should ba a nice and easy way to set your game to run with maximum possible eye candy without tinkering around the options part of the game.

Following the GTX 690 announcement, Nvidia CEO Jen Hsun Huang announced the company's cloud service for gaming graphics presets dubbed the Geforce Experience.

The service is intended to analyze users' hardware setups and adjust in-game settings accordingly. Upon starting up a game, users will see a screen with default and Nvidia’s settings side by side.

Geforce Experience is supposed to simplify the process of setting up games, although hard core gamers are more likely to use it merely as starting point. It is said that mobile gaming will benefit from this as well, since in-game auto configurations from certain companies aren’t quite up to the mark.

Although it may seem simple at a glance, this will require quite some work, since new drivers, updates and patches all affect performance and in turn Nvidia’s optimum settings. Beta version of the service is expected to start in June.
